Question

What is the slope of the line which passes through (4, 5) and (0, 1)?

Answer 1

-4/4

Answer 2

my options are
udefined
1
0
4

Answer 3

its 1

Answer 4

why

Answer 5

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
&({\color{red}{ 4}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 5}})\quad &({\color{red}{ 0}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 1}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}}\)

Answer 6

-4/-4=1

Answer 7

does that make sense?

Answer 8

the ans is 1
well, when looking for a slope you can pick any point from the graph and then use it to find the slope
